Columbus, Aag. 23, 18fa , this morning, a large number sen tor on Ihe south side, and after the division was culled for remained (here, which mode (ho largest por- 111)11 UIl II1U DIM11Q SlOO, After cheering the champions of their cauao in a very hearty manner, on each side, the peopledis-period. At tn o'clock, a. m of ladicH and gentlemen assembled in tlio southwest corner of (ho Stnto House yard, whero ample arrange monts hnd been made to arc urn mod ate the audience. The question for debate ii slated ns follows: "Wmild mcli n law an the so called Maine Law hp consistent with Iho natural and constitutional right of nur citizens, and would its enactment 09 a law nt Ohio tend lii rirmtifttn ihn Minn of nuimlirv find relininn. and the prosperity and hippmess of the peoplo ?" Or. utmrlei Jewott, ol Massachusetts, appenrcd, 10 support the ollirmntivu nf this proposition, and G. J. Bee. bo, Esq., of New York, appeared at an advnealo of the negative. Tlio Moderators were Dr. Ruber! Tlinmpion.'un the part of tho iillirmaiivo, mid Euj. V. T. M.trtin, for liio negative Two secretaries were chosen. Mr. He-he opouod the discussion in a speech of one hour. Iln said, wo have met to di sou 1.1 a question in which we lira all interested. It h proper that wo do this cnrefully, calmly, and deliberately. Three qiiar-tors of a century ago, our forefathers derlnred thorn-selves independent of tho monarchy of Grout Britain. Wn declared that wo were all equal that wo were mi til led to say through nur roprosentnti. es what laws should govern us. Tho peoplo are eupubla nl' self government. He then proceeded to apply tho principles of tlio Maine Law to iIioko general prill. -Spies. No one should have the right to say what we nliould cat or drink. No otio yot proposes to liuiit us in our eating. If the ' Grahamiie gut numerous and powerful, peihap they will attempt to regulate this mutter. Wo have a right to eat nnd drink whatever wo seo proper. Tho tyrants ol the old world do not attempt to inierfero with the sn1 and drinks of thoir peoptj. Tho brutes rat mid dritik whit thoy think proper. People will rebel if any such restrictions aro placed upon them. England attempted to restrict the spirit trade once, and, nl'ter much trouble and expense, Parliament enquired into it, and they fount a greater nmotiut ol' liquor hnd been consumed than heloro the enactment ol 1 ho law, and tho law wus repealed to two years. Ho referred to McOullnck's Dietioinrv for nuthuriiv. Patrick Henry said he know of no lamp to guide his t 1001 imt mat 01 experience, and by tins rule wo should - know that such u law will not bo unturned bv the free h peoplo of this country, whro every man claims to ho c equal 10 overy oilier mini in rifjlitn. t He then read the question which had been narerd utott; Would such a law as tho Mitiue law ho coiism tent, with tho natural and constitutional rights oi our cit'zensT He drlitied the natural rights of man. That every one in I i natural t,io lias n right to eat and drink what ho pleases. The dfcliirniimi of indforn donee ircures these nnlur.d rSghls-lo our pnplo. lie then oxamined whether tlio constitution nf Ohio nu- tliorined the passago of a law like 1 1 it Maine law Where, in the constitution, is the power givmi In Hi - becisiature to yui;',e ol our men's unit our iiruiKsr 11 is not in it. And ho ak-d hi opponent to point it out il it Is there. Tho roniilutioti decl ires th:it 110 li eusn shall bo granted, but the Maine law prop-mes to licnse somo one tn sell liquor In i-very lowimhip- He referred to iho bill of ruhts of Ohio. Tito Maine liquor law will violito eight section) of the hill of rights. 1st. All mon are free and independent, and if s 1. 1 who has the right to ny wh it ho sliall eat nnd drink. By it cvory m iu Ins a rijht to raisy apples, m ike cider, make brandy, mid drink it. 2d. The right of trid by jury shall ho inviolate. Tho M iin law a iyn, the jury slnll ho pn :ked, shall all be friends of the M line law. Hy tho law, the juryman must swear that ho Ins not violated the law. This, he thought would miike jurymen wwce. 3d. Clturches reloltrate Iho sicniment by eating bread and diinking wine, The 7ih article nf the bill ol rights says, all m"n have a right to worship (i id according to tho diela'es of thoir conscen'o. Tte IiMgtslaluro shall puss liws to prtttrelrwry religion de notniuition. The Maine law prohibits ihe silo of wine for sieraiiiental purposos, and thus it vi dales the religious rights of the churches, who uco wine in Ihe sacra moot. 4th, Hnotion 0 says otciMiive bail eh nil not be required, or excnivo lines impoied. TIm Miitio law lines tho farmer $il)tl v lir makes cider, mid penutis it to bucoine hard cider. 5th. An impartial jury is secured to all by tho bill of riguts. I tie M'Mtm law iioos not a'low sucn a jury, IS r It. The house of n citieu sindl be inviolate trom Htiurcli, X;o. The Maine law nllows iiersons upon sus- piuion to search houses for the purpose of finding liquor on the premises. Tliis senrch is iinre.noiiablo, ami a clear violation tf tho bill ot rii'hts. 7ih. Hrtction I" vs private property sbill over ho inviotato. Ihe Maine law takes property without any oicitsu of ptthlio uecesiity and destroys it. No com- iionssti'in in motuT s iirnpoied, nstho bill requires 8th. 8ectl'n 0 snys: This ouuinraiion of rights shall not bo coimiJered to rtstrir.l rich's now enjoyed ami nil power not here delegated shill remain with tho people. Tho Maine nw violate a nntural right which i n t oranted nwav bv the eoustiiution. H iving finished the elimination nf the contitu'i'H.nl nueniioi, ho referred to ih. operation nf the law in M lino. It did not work well there. He bid letters and documents to HiilHt-uitiato this. In I'ortlntid, it is true, the trade I111 been driven from respectuhl I houses to tho hands of had men, who sell a hud nrticle at hi-'li nncB Irom their back doors. In .Maine, nulv five persons and $17, (KM) were employed in making liquor. In Ohio, millions of capital iito employed, and thousand nre eni;ni'd tn the business. Tlioiisitids are d c lived by not knowing tho fe iture of tho Mniue law, and if they knew its fenlures they would oppose it ns strenuously as ho did. Here his iim expired. Dr. Jewett then look the stand and replied. He was afraid his opponent had raised tho expectation nf the peoplo loo high in regard to hi ability. He should follow Ihn argument so far a limo wouid allow, lit ihen look tip tho aigumont 011 the hill nf rights. It a foreigner wero talking with nntihioan about the rights wo hao secured by the revolution, thu man would ako him round the corn-T mid show him several dog ireries. The 10 are ihe liberties that wo have urquired. I'he foreigner would bo apt tony "Why, we, of 1 oreign nations have this richt at homo, nnd it was not necessary t have a revolution to secure tho riyht to make and drink rum." Oar forefathers struggled for something more than tho right to niako and drink liquor. Ho then oxaminod tin niionliou of nntural right, lie Iwauted that defined. In a state of nature, a man lias 'he same right as a tl ;er. I lo may make war or pence at plensuto. But, by coming into society, wo must relinquish Roms of nur naturnl rights. A man has n Itaturai right to drive bis horse in tho middle of the streets, and to drive ns htst as h" his a mind to. Hut we make laws overy day to restrict those rights. W ay how fast a man may drive in our streets. Nobody Hunk these ttunirs are iturotistiiiitionti. lie mustra jiod the idea by the rase of a mm in New .Insey, wlm was n it permitted to sell sweet corn in New York in holera iitn. He showed that the imtiiril nht to al 11. el drii.k what ho haw lit w.is violntd in ihrit as, nod d i body thinks it uneonntitutioual. What tocamo of the natural r'mhl in this rue, and in all tstts of the kind I It was clearly subservient to the est intoros's of society, and Wo h id always noted on 'his theory. Men are inteinpento in entiug, drinking, wearini; ' lothos, &,n,t but no body also is injured by it. This is 'ha distinction. But, in tlm use of liquor, the injury tnel confuted to the drinker. Sorioty is injured, and jciely has a right tn protect itnelf from .his injury. le illustrated the idea by instances. He examined the constitutionality of the Maine law. (He quoted from a decision nf Chief Jusiico Taney, in 'he Supreme Court ol the UuiteJ Stntes, upon this sub- l 'Ci, wno sum mat tl any (Vat saw lit to prom nt it File, &c., they clearly Imd aright tn do so. Jnilire lel.ean said a State may prohibit the sale of liquors . 11 wiftiioi. jnsuees uatmu and Daniels roinndttt in Vii opinion. Juitice drier bad derided lit iho fame r ay. He rend these drriiimn nnd nmnmented upon V-sni. l'olien laws for ih ftrrmtion of crime must j avo iree nporaiinn, ncror nng lo in exigency ol Hie I re. and Stale laws for this pur pone aro constitutional. 1 1 la examined the impartial iurv srenment. It ws j .nfortunate allusion. Would It iw impartial to have vJ The law only provided that ruinsellert are ntil saia they are guilty nf the 11 Hence, and M"fore, lmuartial. Tho Bentlemaa had fairly. U did not provldo that tho uiiieri notittog 01 mo lort. He referred to tho English rase, quoted by his opponent. What il John Bull had tailed! Whs that any reason why wc should failf We have done many things that England npver thought of. He referred to McUormick's reaping maohiue. They thought that became they had failed, we must fail ; but they found themselves misinKen, ntm they man in ny aum tiled tneir mistuke. The English case was a governmental tueusuro, without consultation with the peoplo. There was no discussion, no preparation, no submission of it to ihem. But wo of this country think for ourselves, nnd if wo sea tit to mnke such a law, it is the people that do it. Lot the peoplo volo upon it let the peo-pie of Ohio vote upon this abstract question, and there would bo thunder that would startle the nation. l'roporty may bo destroyed without paying for it. Wo do so every day. Wo take tho property of the counterfeiter and gambler, and seller of obscene hooks, and nobody dnht the constitutional right. Nobody questions the right to take and destroy property that is illegally used. He used up iho ciJcr argument by an illustration. Suppose a man should kill an ox If ho let it lay a few ffays in the hnt sun, it becomes putrid. Suppose ha take it to market will tho authorities permit it to he sold? No. And yot it is hit property. Why shall ho not havo a tight to soil any thing ho ownsT Because the community would ho injured by it. The provisions of Ihe Maine law may be ubnsrd, nnd so may nny law on our statute bonk. Ho illustrated the idea by cases tinder our law, Suppose a m 111 crosses my sheep pasture without my leave. He commit a trespass. Suppose he passes ih rough my 'orchard, nnd pick up somo of my fruit under tho trees. Ho commits a theft. I may prosecute him for these. But who attempts to do an in ordinary casesT Nobody ; and the mun that should attempt it would be booted out of society. And yet law on this subject tiro found uocossnry, nnd nobody thinks of opposing thorn, because they may be per verlfil from their original nnd legitimato purpose. So, nobody would think of disturbing the f rmer who niado cider for his own use, or if ho should sell some of it to his neighbor for neighborhood coramou one. But if the man should tnko the hard cider to (ho dog- gery.nnd keep about hi in a set of Iny loafers, guzzling it down, spending their time and corrupting iho morals of Iho neighborhood, it would bo odiftVrontcaso.nnd oupht to bo til tended to by tho ofhrers of tho Inw. Nero his hour expired, when tho meeting nd joiirncd till 2 o'clock, p. m. aftkrmoon's derate. At 2 o'clock, p. m., ihe audience again assembled, and Mr. Beebo proceeded to occupy Ins half hour. Ho thought his positions had not been met; that iho argument of his opponent did nut apply. Whero it had been attempted he thought ho should honblo to show tint it was not conclusive, lie thought tlio n cisnuis nf tlio U. S, Court wero not pertinent. Tlio quosii-u, li.ere decided wero between the United .States nnd tho States, nnd did not apply to tho pn-sont question. But .lodges may become supeniuuated and fanatical, nod Judge of the U, H. may have erred. Ho thought after Iho individual bad paid duty, ihe government was bound lo prot"ct the individual in il, ami that no Stato had a right to nrus laws to destroy it. It was the Constitution of Ohio that wo were imw discussing, and whether the clause upon which the people luvo voted made any such law in this ESta unconstitutional. Ho thought ihn that elm mo nf the question hnd been decided in his favor by tho failure ol his opponent to meet thorn. He said tho government ought not to noizo any man's property or intotfero with any matt, till an oltunce is committed. That wns tho sif-ist rul. The man who drives through the streets fast is liable to injure other people's property, nnd for this injury ho ouiiht to bo made responsible. Noal Dow, in a letter, admits that tho law do os not work well in It if ton and Hliode Itil ind. Tho law, ho believed, could not be enforced in Ohio, Ho thought the people of this S'ate were the last tint would submit to such an enactment. In answer to tho swoet-corn argument, ho said (hat any man from New York hnd a right to go over the State of New Jersey and buy them nnd tnko ihem home. But ((incorporation had authority to forbid the s doof what I hoy thought unhealthy in their market. Ho-referred brielly to 0110 fir two of iho positions of bis opponent, when his half hour having expired ho took his scat. Dr. Jewett resumed. Ho thought tho attempt to disparage the opinion nf tho United Slates Judges, was not in good taste. That Court was one of ihe ablest in the world. He referred again bridly to the ilftfi-ion of I lml Pn.if f- . ... ... v . tl. rr.ii" constitution on tho licnsn question. What did the makers ol that constitution design 1 Nothing like the proi isintis of tlio Maine law. It is not lo bo done fur pr vato gaie, but as Ihe ngont of tho townships. The Supreme Court of Ohio, siuco 1 ha present constitution, lias derailed that a law restricting iho sale, of liquor In quantities least nan aquart if eonttitut tonal. Now.il it may be restricted in ciuantitie len than a quirt, may lin y not pass laws restricting it altogether? We havo now n law authorizing tho township trustees to prohibit iho sale ol liquor in townships, and ihis is a I'.illronfirtni tion ot our views on the cunslitutloiml question. About law for prevention, can tho law apprehend a man who is ahoiit to apply a torrh to a dwelling, or who is nhont to commit a murder? Uloirly lliny can, and ttny do. In reply In tho troth ni horse argument, wo would ! nut complain so much il lb' so rummies did not con. tatitly run into our buggies. That is tho trouble. The sain of ruin injures not only the user but nil the res. of tho community. This is pist tho ditVn-ulty. After n reply to somo other propo-iiion, his lime having ex pired; when Mr- fie el 10 again took tlio stand. His speech was mmtly in iho dinuission of propositions heretofore giv en, lie pa-1!, to the second part nl tlio question, the HV-rtol ilio Maine law upon tho peace ami good order ot community- Ho ha I In' 011 called an lutidel. Ho pronounced it a lals'-liood. lie had a gre.it respect lor tho preachora when they kept themselves wi'lnn tlio line of their religious duty. But when they step ped astd' Irom tins, nnd went to preaching politics, ami to call good, huuest men riimsuo'cers, iii'irdcreri, Sic, ihey wero nut of their duty, and he opposed th' in. Such language did much to irritate, and array one set ot community against nimtiier. 11 the Legislature lias authorized lowuahins to prohibit the salt of liquors, it gave an authority that they did not posses. Ho doubted whether it wns douo iu any towu.hip. (Sev eral voices named townships where the prohibition had been made. "Akron, lUvennn, Athens, Dela ware.") Spirituous liquor were necessary. George Washiiutoii wrote to Congress complaining that there was not enough whisky lor tho use nf the army. His opinion aro worih something ; and if these thing are faots, then it is wrong to call thnso who mantilacluro liquors hard name. He referred tntho scripture nr-gumeut, and aid there wns no authority iu tho Bihlo tor the Maine law. He had oil- rod n, reward to nny one who would prove nu nppmdte posilion. Dr. Jowott resumed. Ho quoted a text, to show bis side of Iho argument. After some romiirksnh'tiil Washington, and the use of liquor in former times, lm referred to tho effects of liquor drinking in tho roiumissiuu of crime. Ho Assorted that throe fourths of the crimes of the country were committed through the rlWt of using liquors. When the uso of cutlery shall producn the propor.ion of crime and evil lhai liquor does, be idiould go against eutleru. Ho discussed the nrovcu live fel u ro and demon, Ira led that wiolo legislate tn prevent crime, a well a to punish. We puinnh a man or keoioiiB morellinl a rnrtnin n mount ot (iinrnlr in his store. There may be a lire and the lire compa nies may be destroyed by the explosion, and great ruin may eumio. iow, because this amy occur, wo say the man sliall not kot o powder over a certain quantity there. This is preventive legislation. Some States have laws putting a guardian over the prnperty nftnun wno aro inclined 10 spend their substance in liquor. This is preventive legislation. Congress has passed a law against taking liquor to Indian countries, nnd il found there, tho liquor may be seized and destroyed, and even tho noal that takes it there may ne seixeii. This is nruveiitivo legislation. Vniuo bus not the hon or nf originating this law. It belong to General Jackson and to tho Congress of ihe United States, Mr. Beebo resumed. After passing upon whnt had just boeu said at some length, ho referred In the Bible argument, and quoted a verso tn mra, where, lor the service of the Lord, they were commanded to bring forth wine, &c. He also referred lo several passages in tho Biolo whero the use ol wine was commended His quotation wrro extended nnd thorough on this point. I Dr. Jewett replied. Ho doubled whether the clmr-1 dies and prench'Tsuf Ohio sympathized with him in the fear that they could get no wine for communion. tie preachers were almost unanimously in lavor nt the Mttino law. The bict that wine were tolerated then, is no more evidence that it is right to use it for a coniuion drink now, than the tact that polygeny, whi h was allowed then, is also right uw. Who advocate polygamy front this cause f H then went into a brief examination nf the Maine law, and Its general tendency anil effects, and dwelt tifton it with much lot 00 and eloquence, and closed whh a devout wish that the people of Ohio would take this subject iuto their own bnuds. ntid enact the Maine law. Mr. Beebe closod tho dehate. He said the wish for tho Maine law was a Mohammedan wish and not a Oliristisn one. He quoted from the Koran to how that Mohammed t tinted wine and Hie money for which it should bo sold. He contrasted thnt with the doc trine of the Bible, and said that the Maine law would be anything but in accordance with the precept of that , book. Ho reterrod to sonin oi tho previous argument and saul he thought bis constitutional position had ni been met and overcome. Of the second part nf the tuestioii. that which referred to the moral and religious aspect of tho cae, he left the people to judge whether n law that would army one portion nt community against another would he likely to promote these ends. Heinststod that n t such law could heenlorced in Ohio, and that the people would permit nothing uf the sort to be dot e. Alter the close of the debate It was proposed that a vote of (be people be taken. Those who were in favor of the enactment of such a law passed lo the South side of the yard, and thon opposed passed to ihe North side. Occupy itia a central and elevated seat, we bad ft good view of each side. It i our judgment that the iorctgn Correspondence. Paris, August 1, 1853. , The noble stand taken by tho American Com-1 mandor in the affair of tho Hungarian refugee, Kossta, at Smyrna, has shed new light and new honors upon tho American character abroad. After much misrepresentation and abuse of Capt. Ingrahom by the Euro ; pean press generally, it now appear that that oilicer. was right, and that he only performed on imperative j duty. Capt. Inrahara knew ho was right, and he had 1 orders from Iho American Legation at Constantinople to Ink 0 Kossta; he boarded the Austrian man-of-war and told tho Captain ho would give him four hours to deliver Kossta up. This order, peremptory, decided, just, is condemned by the English press as "brutal" on tho part of Capt. In graham. The Oapium had more reasons than ono for this peremptory order: he was satisfied that it was his duty to toko him, the man had claimed the protection of the American flag, be hs afraid they would convey him on board an Austrian ateamer that was lying by for the purpose, and thus carry him out of his reach, and they had m ido him mad by denying at first that Kossta was aboard the vessel a falsehood, lie told tho Captain himself, no gentleman or no officer, who laid claims to respectability, would bo guilty of. Tho principle npnn which Mr. Brown, at Constant!- noplo, ordorcd hts release, nnd tho princlplo upon which Capt. Ingrahnm acted, was that Kossta, being an outlaw from his native country, Austria, and having taken out his papers declaring his intontion nf naturalization in New York, he was therefore clearly under tho protection of no flag except that of Iho United States, and tho moment ho declared to Capt. Ingruham that ho claimed that protection, it wti awarded him. Tho entire European press deny the validity of that doctrine, and contend that the European States oatt never submit to such pretensions on the part of America. Ono paper says: " If American citizenship ami an Amorican passport iccuro impunity to all rebels, it is clear the crime of high treason must ho erased from tho code of every country. If this doctrine prevnils, what should prevent Kossuth himself, ot Mazzini, from rot urning into Austria and Italy, armed with this talisman, nnd defying the sovereign and the police, and invoking the intervention of their powerful and tin scrupulous protectors?" "In Turkey, it is well known tint a Christian, when taken in tho actual commission of a crime, may escape tho consequences by profess ing his conversion to Islamism. The pretensions of America to invest thu criminals of other countries with similar immunities, if admitted, will render nil Inter course with that country intolerable." After doman ling the body of Kostta, Capt. Ingrnham " hy to" near the Austrian vessels, four in number, and cleared ship for action. A compromise was immediately agreed upon by tho Consuls of the United State and Austria, to enve bloodshed, by which Kossta was delivered into the hands of a third power for arbitra tion. News just arrived from Vienna state that Knssla is likely tn bo given up to the American authorities, nnd that public opinion has taken a turn somewhat in our favor. The Vienna correspondent of tho London will goon bo exhausted J twelve millions of lior popu lation aro either neutral or against her, and the allied powers have botrayed the Sultan' confidence. What, then, is thero lo save her from the grasp of Iho great Northern Beorf Is it likely that Nicholas, knowing perfectly all these advantages, will submit lo the dic tation of other professed friendly powers, whose interests are all on the side of Turkey and againat him? If he does, he will astonish even thnso who ask him to do it. A telegraphic despatch, just arrived from Vienna, says that the American government has offered money I and help to the Sultan. This report, it is needless to say, is not oredited; and it ia probable it is a part of that system of menace which the powers concerned against Russia aro resorting to, to protract the Emperor's progress. Another despatch says that Kossta remain in tho French hospital at Smyrna until bit case hall be decided on at Washington and at Vienna. UlistcIIaitB. There is a grace, beauty and truthfulness about tho following sketch which it worthy the best day of tho Spectator. We specially commend it tooar female friends.

May il rink deep into their Marti, and, on all occasions m iy they practice the wisdom here taught: To Ute Editori of the Home Journal 1 Portland, July, 1853. Mr Dear, Sirs: Perhaps tho following little frag ment of a letter tacked ur bv "our milkman." the oilier morning, while on his early rounds, and present ett 10 me, may not no without ns moiety ot useiulness nt this limo, when vulgarity, with an assumed air of otV-honduc'ss, and an affectation of aristocratical culture MINERAL RESOURCES OP THE HOCKING VALLEY. We have from time to time laid before our readers the facts that havo come to our knowledge in relation to the vast mineral resources of the Hocking Valley. Its beds of Coal and Iron are not surpassed iu quality or quantity. A n nd from Culnmbu to these point would be of immense benefit to our ci'y. and our business mon should lose no time in commen cing the good work. We find un able and interesting article in the Athent Memnger on this subject, and we take pleasure in co pying it for the benefit of our citizens : From the Athens Messrnor. The Hocking Talloy Railroad. This road is beginning to command that attention which wo feel assured further examination into its merit aud value when completed, wil justify. Its necessity and convenience to the laiid-boldenaud limine men of the immediate Valley, as well as to the State at large, are not easily exaggerated. To those considerations, we believe, all who have given it even a passing thought are awake; connecting as it will St. Paul and the entire Territory of Minnesota, if uot also the vast copper region of tho upper Lake by n continuous through lino of roads, with Baliimore aud the sea-board geuerally, it must, when viewed in its true light, arouse earnest desiro and ellicient efforts for its pedy completion. Although tho portion ot the State through which its construction t contemplated is comnarativoiv small, vet it noss sses manv feature of vastly more than ordinary interest. To (ho resources of this country both agricultural and mineral and to its rapidly increasing population, it i reasonable to suppose that mondisposed to aid by their money and iniiuence in this enterprise will look with some dogree of anxiety: aud it is as reasonable to suppose that the immediate residents along tho line will bo equally anxious to contribute what facts they may possess, to throw light upon these points. Commencing at Columbus, where it will have advantageous connection with the great network of lines extending ovor overy part of the valley of the Mississippi, thin road is designed to pais through tho counties of Frank lin, f airfield, Hocking and Athens, to some yet unde termined point on tlio Ohio. Theso counties taken still more nhsurd, seems to bo extonding its sway. It describing his lady love in juxtaposition with a cousin, ! ;mpaw favorably with arty portion of the brings before us thu two extremes, tho two marked 1 .

Sho was with her cousin, and Ihis but served lo increase her attractions. I knew her at onco '. for a into woman, by the harmony of her attire with carriage, feature nnd-complexion, and by that air caused by tlii.s h trtmuiy, this wholeness which ever shedi nn iiilluenne sacredly impressive around the true woman guarding iter in a ponetrail or purity sale irom rulliau intrusion. Her id 11 re was plainness itself. No gaudiness an nhiiost entire absence of jewelry a pin, a ring or two, rich, but plain. Upon acquaintance I observed, as I was confident of yes, ai I would have slaked my exUtonco upon the truth before, for it would havo been n monntmiii anomaly In have been otherwise that tho same harmony norvnding the outward, also pervaded tho inward self; in fact, it was but this inward harmony which caused this beautiful naturalness nl outward action. What a ditlnrence bo tion of wheat in tho county of Athens alono, a county whoso claim in this particular have never been urged, is 51(1,001) bushels, and of corn about 250.000 bushels, besides other productions pertaining to farming pursuits.

But a featuro of greater interest in this road 1 the extensive bed of bituminous coal and workable iron ore, found in its immediate vicinity in Hocking and Athens counties!

This formation embrace tho sandstone, limestone, carcareo siliceous rock, shales, iron ore, and the saline stratum or strata. Each of these appear exhuiistless. According to tho most rolhblo observations thero are threo workable seams nf good bituminous coal, cropping out at the surface along the Hockhocking river, commencing sevon miles went of Nelionville and extending to the mouth of Sunday creek. These beds riio as wo ascend the river, and sink beneath it in an opposite direction, being exposed in the very best workable state for a distance of at least ton mile. Thosucoal Thero is nothing like a pleasure excursion into tho country, or upon 1 lie water, to bring the little biem-isii and benunei of tho disposition to viow; lor those littln excursion, having connected with them, as they over have, so many little disagreeables, call foi considerable Ht'-icisin ami equability of temper to resist that nntiirul proueueis, to which nearly all aro liable, tn bo disturbed by annoyance.

Every now arrival elicited an exclamation, men were about equally divided. The ladies were all In all war question which present themselves, and tho decided stand taken by Capt. Ingrnham, hive brought iho peoplo of Europe to the belief that diplomacy is no pirt of our governmental creed. But that when wo know our rights, wo demand them immedi a'ely, and if we don't get (hem, we discard diplomacy I for something more telling. This affair has nlVnnb d so striking a contrast to the puerile conduct of England and France In the same quarter, (hat it has exerted a vast deal of goi.d for the influence of Iho American mino. Another affair, much similar, has just occurred. A Hungarian refugee embarked, with his wife and chil dren, on board an Austrian steamer at B'yroul, in Syria, when the Captain immediately informed bun that he arrested him iu the name of ihe Austrian Consul, and would convey htm to Triesle, (Austria.) The Hungarian protested; nnd then, appearing to submit to his destiny, he withdrew to a corner, and, waiting until he aw he was not watch -d, throw himself into the sen. A boatman picked him up and conveyed him to the Consulate of the United State. Thero proving by his passport that ho wns entitled to American pro tection, ho was recoived. Thanks to iho energy of tho American Consul, Iho wife and children nf tlio Hungarian, whom ihe Captain wished lo kefp on board, wero also rojtored to liberty, and were carried to Smyrna by a French steamer. Tho mationuvres of Commander Stringham at Con stantinople have excited the joahmiie and suspicion of all the murilimo nations, but particularly (hose of England and France. Tho treaty of 1911 prohibits armed vessels belonging to any of the grout power of Europe to pass Into the Dardanelles, This treaty, or course, oxert no influence upon nn independent power liko the United States, Commodore Stringham has gone through the Dardanelles with his fleet, nnd ac companied ihe Turkish fleet, sailing in il centre, into Ihe Black Seat he has b-en feted by the Turkish court, and has madt? a complimentary speech to the Sultan) nnd it is reported that he has punhaied from the Sultan, for the sum of five hundred thousand del lor, the exclusive right to a ship road in tho Sea of Marmora, and for a short connecting railroad. ery naturally all this ha aroused tho suspicions of other nations, mid they begin to ask what Brother Jonathan Is nftrr in ibis part of Iho world T Brother Jonathan is looking after the interests of bis commerce that is nil. The war question ha grown stale and tedious. England and Franco have shown the white feather, and the Emperor of Russia, as I havo before misled, Is likely lo obtain his own terms. His policy has been energetically followed up, without faltering or vacillation; white that of tho allied forces, if they can aspire to that title, ha been prevaricating, indecisive, bullying, even cowardly. The result is, that the Sul tan, after taking ft noble stand in defence of his rights and his independence, will be left at the merry of Nicholas, ami compelled to submit to terms the most humiliating. Nicholas evidently intends, by procrastination, lo exhaust tho feoblo resources of Turkey, when she will be an easy prey. The cries of England and France, uttered from time to time, that a solution by mediation or otherwise is upon Iho eve of consum mation, aro but Ihe cries of drowning men. They aro made to keep up government funds and to cover their own weakness. Effort to preserve peace are only honorable and commendable when they spring from honorable motives, and peace is only honorable when it is not obtained at tho price uf dishonor andhumiliation. Turkey i In a most deplornble Ml notion. The Christians, who compose a body of twelve million of tlio Turkish Empire, are either lukewarm 111 the cause of the Sultan, or have posdivrly countenanced Ihe d mnml of Russia. In Moldavia and Wallarhia, where the Russian troops are now quartered, immense num her of this population give their support tn Russia. This has exasperated the Mussulman popnlntion to such au extent, that it is with the greatest dilllcully that the Turkish government has been enabled to prevent most bloody and disastrous civil war. Tho fooling of dissatisfaction from this cause is on the increase; and here, in Paris, it is feared every mail may bring tidings of a horrible massacre of Christians In Constantinople, and perhaps tn the province also. It i to tho advan' tsgo uf Russia to encourage this feud, and she i doing so with all tho energy she nossesse. Emissaries are raising tho standard at Christianity throughout the dii affected districts, and are preaching a veritable crusade. They are even imposing miracles upon the ignorant, to excite their enthusiasm in favor uf the Emperor Nicholas, Turkey was b no k nipt before this calamity came upon her, and iho has only been enabled to make her preparation for war by the enthu siasm and forbearance of her ctliiens, and by the promised support of other powers; her strength, therefore, (m 1...

It is proper, also, to add to this estimate of the main bed nf coal, now being worked at Nelsonville and vicinity, the yield of the seam of coal lying above that and below tlio huhrstono. 1 In is said to ho workable-Should Iho English policy of sinking shafts be adopted in ihis country, wo may estimate the availability id the Nelsonville coal bed along the line of (hi road for a distance nf at least twenty mile. It may not be improper to remark, 111 passing, that tho Nelsonville bed of coal enn be traced sooth of tho Hockhocking, to the head water of Raccoon, in York and Waterloo townships, and thence is seen along tho stream and branches, tn tho townships ol bro, brown, and Vinton. Fur various reason, the necessity of a special and thorough examination of this district might he urged. The coal here, hownvnr, is somewhat thinner than at Nelsonville, and lie more immediately in the neighborhood of tho road connecting Cincinnati and Marietta. Tho entire coal district to which wo have alluded, from it convenient location for workablo purposes, il vast extent, it superior quality, and its rapidly growing reputation, leems destined to become the most valuable deposit on the western side of tho coal measures, nnd to exert a most powerful, influence upon the part nf the State it traverses, a wed as npon those part with which it shall be connected whon the contemplated line of road shall have been completed. In the vicinity of Athens, higher beds of coal exist and hrcomo workablo, as we proceed southeasterly in tho di roc 1 ion of their dip. Extensive beds of coal are nln lonnd on rodernl cruek, occupying an area trom north to south, through tho country, of from six to ten mile in width, and embracing the towushipsol Loth, Carthago, Rome, Canaan, Ames, Bern, Marion and Homer. The thickness of the reliable em is from I to It) feet It it supposed to be of workable thickness at almmt any place.

ERIE DEVELOPMENTS. This gnage business is just now decidedly rich, the ooweis 01 ine matter nave opened, and the lilthy truth is pouring out in copious t reams. It will now soon work itself clenr, bs the sore is probed to the core, and too cause ui me disease clearly ascertained. A. Mr. Lowry, who seems to have been a stalwart breakman in this stopping of ihe through enterprise, lately hear ing that stories were circulating calculated to impeach us imegriiy, uemanoed that publicity should be given to the authority for such slanders, making thi demand in writing nnd concluding his note as follows: " therefore demand the tmblieatio of tie document alluded to, nnd shall hold yon legally accountable if this rrasnnaoie request be not in a proper tune complied with." Tho President and Director of the Brie & North-East Railroad readily complied wiih Mr. Lowry' re- quest, nnd published an aftidavit made by CO. Dennis, uf Buffalo. It appears lhat Mr. D , seeing some Erie resolution passed at a meeting of which this Lowry wa Secretary, iu which creat indisnation wa ex pressed at Ihe proposed change of cuaire. beoauie of me injury to ihe public, was determined to strip the hypocrite for the benefit of all concerned, and show up just how much Lowry cared for the public aud how much for telf. Mr. Uetiuis has made his allnfavtt of the truth of his statement, by which it appear that Mr. Lowry, being one of the principal oppusen to the chnngo of guage, it was determined in some way to romove his opposi tion. Accordingly Mr. D. called on Lowry, when ihe following scene, in the language of the allidavit, took place : " I told him lhat I came to see him on heuall of the Railroad Interests between Buffalo and Cleveland. That he know very well what we wanted. We wanted the gunge changed. Now, said I, Mr. Lowry, vhat do you want! To which he answered, without the slightest hesitation, I want to make money. These other fel low in cine here have made money out ot the Erie & North-East Road, and I waut to mako some money nut of it. Well, said I, Mr. Lowry, if it can be so arranged lhat you enn make money out of it, and we can at tho same time change tho guage, have yon nny objection to that? Oh no, said ho, that will be all right." 1 1 was then arranged that tho two should visit Cleveland on this business, which they did, and the affidavit goes to any : " Wo saw Mr. Stone, and Mr. Lowry said, in answer to a question from one of us. ' that ho could control bv himself, and through other parties that ho would have to pay, so mown at over three hundred vote at the thon approaching Stockholders' meeting to accept or reject the guago law,' and that ' he was quite sure he could reient the guage law it he was suitably remunerated. and could also procure thech tuge ol gnage within three months.' Mr- Stone then proposed to give him f(i Out) when he should Imvn accomplished these things, ns follows: givo him ,000 if tha gunge law was rejected. $2,0111) to elect such a Board of Directors as we should name, and (2,0110 when the guago was changed, if within three months. To which Mr. Lowry replied, that he could mako morn money skinning eels.' Mr. Stone theu increased the offer a follow: ihe two first sums and conditions the same as before, and the last sum to be t'i.OOO if the guage was chnoged within three month. Mr. Lowry replied, that wasn tenoueh that thoro wero other men iu Erie that he would have to pay a good deal ot this money to, and it would not leave him enought to make it an object, &c. At this stage of ihe matter, Mr. Stone said he had an engage, merit that would take him an hour or more, nnd (old me lo go on with the matter and see what I could do. I theu said to Mr. Lowry that I would give him my ultimatum, as I was not authorized to go further. " That wo would give him five thousand dollnr to rejeot ihe guage law, five thousand dollars to elect such a Board of Directors as we nliould deignate,and live thousand dollar if ho procured the guago to be changed within three months." Mr. Lowry, it seems, had estimated himself pretty high, and very sensibly reasoned that, as he wa selling nis iiouy and ioiii, ihoy must bring a tip top price, and accordingly declined the offer at that time; subsequent ly, however, hud ing Dennis bad made bis biggest bid. Lowry acceded, asking D. if he could nut pay (5500 cash in hand. The affidavit goe on to my : "I told him that I could not, but wo ild give him a note, signed by stone nnd myseii, conditioned to pay nun live thousand dollar 11 me guage law was re- lecteu nt the then approaching- stockholder meeting, to which he absented. I afterward saw Mr. Stone. who wrote the note a promised and signed it. I also signod it and put it in my pocket, and got into the cars to return to Buffalo the same evening, and found Mr. Lowry on board, as I expected to, and gave him the note. He then stepped near iho lamp and read it, aud said it was all rigid. But bofore we got to Erie, ho came lo me and suggested some alteration ni the con dittoes, to which I bad no objection: andonourarri val nt Erie, I went Into the Receiver' office and made a nolo at Ihe bottom a he desired, and with which he was satisfied. Why Ihis bargain fell through we nre not informed. and await further development of Erie financiering wno mucu interest. The President and Directors who publish this statement, have "more of the same sort toft," which will bo made public when he demands it, as appears by tho following extract from the statement: " Should the motive which prompted him to demand the publication of the expose of Mr. Dennis, impel him to demand a cnufirmntory statement from Mr. Stone of the transaction referred to by Mr. Dennis, perhaps he can bo gmtihed. Not sat lulled with lhat. should his zeal for notoriety and his determination to protect 'his integrity,' defend 'hi honor,' and save 1 his name ' from bocoining odious,' induce him to de in and the publicition ot what occurred at an interview in mitt tin, mst tall, between him (Lowry) and Mr. Richmond, with referonco to the change of guago for a money consideration, all he hat to tlo u to make, the demand, and tee have rat aooil reaton to believe he can be ac commodated ." to tied it ere long advocating Land Distribution amongst the States a National Bank and all the other measures that havo been heretofore so dear to the Whigs, and so distasteful to the Democrats. I awn it quietly to see what is to come next, not regarding- it as amongst impoiribUitiee, that the "National Intelligencer" mat-yet become the organ of this administration. If thy Union i to continue a it has been going on for some lime past, I do not know that the Domocracy would sailer much from such a result. Tho time-honored principle of tho States Rights men of the South are in danger, and I appeal to them to resist sternly this attempt to strengthen Federal power, by increasing tho Federal p-ttronuge. Union, energy, determined effort, and an uncompromising spirit, will save our party from overthrow, and out principles from disgrace. Such objects aro worth struggle, and we owe it to ourselves to make the effort. A' VALLEY DEMOCRAT. August 9, 1853, HAT. MACON.

This view of duty nnd usefulness wn decisive. Mr. Macon ohoyed (lie Governors summons; and by hi representation contributed to obtain tho supplies which enabled Greene to turn back and fare Cornwal. lis, fight him. cripplo him. and drivo him further back than he had advanced, (for Wilmington is south of Camden) disable him from remaining in the south of which, up to tho battle of Guilford, ho believed himself to be master and sending him to Yotktown, where be was captured, and tho war ended. The London Times is disposed to favor the reform recommended by Secretary Mahct in the dress, &c, of our foreign diplomatic agouti. Wo have no doubt lhat seusiblo men in every nation of Europe would ibank as heartily, if wo will have tho courage and manliness to fall back upon tho dignified simplicity of the days of Franklin. Why should notour agents dress as mon in their position dress at Washington? Our statesmen do not find it necessary to array themselves in a cocked hat, buff faced coat, epaulettes and ft sword at home, and our representative! should not do . so abroad. The ministers of European nations do not adopt our plain republican habit; why should our ministers adopt theirs? The practice is all wrong, and should be abolished at once and forever. The London Timet refers to it as follows: " But, If consuls are not to wear cocked hats and play the diplomatist, what are they to do? On this head the circular is tolerably explicit. They are to keep their cilices open tor the transaction ot business from 9 A. M. till 3 P. M.; they aro to obtain no leave of absence, except in urgent cases, and for short periods; they are to nUend to the requirement of American citizens, as in duty bound; and they are ' reques- tru 10 communicate ireeiy sou ireqitentiy with the Department of State, iu all that relates to scientific discoveries, to progress in the arts, and to general statistics In foreign countries.' It is added that the American government has it in contemplation to publish annually a volume containing extracts of this description from all the consular dispuclie.

There is much in them which may be applied wlh great advantage to our own institutions. We have no desire to say much about costume, though it can turcly be not very fiattrring to a civil hed nation, that an envoy accredited to it gtmernment, thould be drcoratetl at if he vert intending to aHvnttk I'ata-gnniant or Ahanfee$.

At tn o'clock, a. m of ladicH and gentlemen assembled in tlio southwest corner of (ho Stnto House yard, whero ample arrange monts hnd been made to arc urn mod ate the audience. The question for debate ii slated ns follows: "Wmild mcli n law an the so called Maine Law hp consistent with Iho natural and constitutional right of nur citizens, and would its enactment 09 a law nt Ohio tend lii rirmtifttn ihn Minn of nuimlirv find relininn. and the prosperity and hippmess of the peoplo ?" Or. utmrlei Jewott, ol Massachusetts, appenrcd, 10 support the ollirmntivu nf this proposition, and G. J. Bee. bo, Esq., of New York, appeared at an advnealo of the negative. Tlio Moderators were Dr. Ruber! Tlinmpion.'un the part of tho iillirmaiivo, mid Euj. V. T. M.trtin, for liio negative Two secretaries were chosen. Mr. He-he opouod the discussion in a speech of one hour. Iln said, wo have met to di sou 1.1 a question in which we lira all interested. It h proper that wo do this cnrefully, calmly, and deliberately. Three qiiar-tors of a century ago, our forefathers derlnred thorn-selves independent of tho monarchy of Grout Britain. Wn declared that wo were all equal that wo were mi til led to say through nur roprosentnti. es what laws should govern us. Tho peoplo are eupubla nl' self government. He then proceeded to apply tho principles of tlio Maine Law to iIioko general prill. -Spies. No one should have the right to say what we nliould cat or drink. No otio yot proposes to liuiit us in our eating. If the ' Grahamiie gut numerous and powerful, peihap they will attempt to regulate this mutter. Wo have a right to eat nnd drink whatever wo seo proper. Tho tyrants ol the old world do not attempt to inierfero with the sn1 and drinks of thoir peoptj. Tho brutes rat mid dritik whit thoy think proper. People will rebel if any such restrictions aro placed upon them. England attempted to restrict the spirit trade once, and, nl'ter much trouble and expense, Parliament enquired into it, and they fount a greater nmotiut ol' liquor hnd been consumed than heloro the enactment ol 1 ho law, and tho law wus repealed to two years. Ho referred to McOullnck's Dietioinrv for nuthuriiv. Patrick Henry said he know of no lamp to guide his t 1001 imt mat 01 experience, and by tins rule wo should - know that such u law will not bo unturned bv the free h peoplo of this country, whro every man claims to ho c equal 10 overy oilier mini in rifjlitn. t He then read the question which had been narerd utott; Would such a law as tho Mitiue law ho coiism tent, with tho natural and constitutional rights oi our cit'zensT He drlitied the natural rights of man. That every one in I i natural t,io lias n right to eat and drink what ho pleases. The dfcliirniimi of indforn donee ircures these nnlur.d rSghls-lo our pnplo. lie then oxamined whether tlio constitution nf Ohio nu- tliorined the passago of a law like 1 1 it Maine law Where, in the constitution, is the power givmi In Hi - becisiature to yui;',e ol our men's unit our iiruiKsr 11 is not in it. And ho ak-d hi opponent to point it out il it Is there. Tho roniilutioti decl ires th:it 110 li eusn shall bo granted, but the Maine law prop-mes to licnse somo one tn sell liquor In i-very lowimhip- He referred to iho bill of ruhts of Ohio. Tito Maine liquor law will violito eight section) of the hill of rights. 1st. All mon are free and independent, and if s 1. 1 who has the right to ny wh it ho sliall eat nnd drink. By it cvory m iu Ins a rijht to raisy apples, m ike cider, make brandy, mid drink it. 2d. The right of trid by jury shall ho inviolate. Tho M iin law a iyn, the jury slnll ho pn :ked, shall all be friends of the M line law. Hy tho law, the juryman must swear that ho Ins not violated the law. This, he thought would miike jurymen wwce. 3d. Clturches reloltrate Iho sicniment by eating bread and diinking wine, The 7ih article nf the bill ol rights says, all m"n have a right to worship (i id according to tho diela'es of thoir conscen'o. Tte IiMgtslaluro shall puss liws to prtttrelrwry religion de notniuition. The Maine law prohibits ihe silo of wine for sieraiiiental purposos, and thus it vi dales the religious rights of the churches, who uco wine in Ihe sacra moot. 4th, Hnotion 0 says otciMiive bail eh nil not be required, or excnivo lines impoied. TIm Miitio law lines tho farmer $il)tl v lir makes cider, mid penutis it to bucoine hard cider. 5th. An impartial jury is secured to all by tho bill of riguts. I tie M'Mtm law iioos not a'low sucn a jury, IS r It. The house of n citieu sindl be inviolate trom Htiurcli, X;o. The Maine law nllows iiersons upon sus- piuion to search houses for the purpose of finding liquor on the premises. Tliis senrch is iinre.noiiablo, ami a clear violation tf tho bill ot rii'hts. 7ih. Hrtction I" vs private property sbill over ho inviotato. Ihe Maine law takes property without any oicitsu of ptthlio uecesiity and destroys it. No com- iionssti'in in motuT s iirnpoied, nstho bill requires 8th. 8ectl'n 0 snys: This ouuinraiion of rights shall not bo coimiJered to rtstrir.l rich's now enjoyed ami nil power not here delegated shill remain with tho people. Tho Maine nw violate a nntural right which i n t oranted nwav bv the eoustiiution. H iving finished the elimination nf the contitu'i'H.nl nueniioi, ho referred to ih. operation nf the law in M lino. It did not work well there. He bid letters and documents to HiilHt-uitiato this. In I'ortlntid, it is true, the trade I111 been driven from respectuhl I houses to tho hands of had men, who sell a hud nrticle at hi-'li nncB Irom their back doors. In .Maine, nulv five persons and $17, (KM) were employed in making liquor. In Ohio, millions of capital iito employed, and thousand nre eni;ni'd tn the business. Tlioiisitids are d c lived by not knowing tho fe iture of tho Mniue law, and if they knew its fenlures they would oppose it ns strenuously as ho did. Here his iim expired. Dr. Jewett then look the stand and replied. He was afraid his opponent had raised tho expectation nf the peoplo loo high in regard to hi ability. He should follow Ihn argument so far a limo wouid allow, lit ihen look tip tho aigumont 011 the hill nf rights. It a foreigner wero talking with nntihioan about the rights wo hao secured by the revolution, thu man would ako him round the corn-T mid show him several dog ireries. The 10 are ihe liberties that wo have urquired. I'he foreigner would bo apt tony "Why, we, of 1 oreign nations have this richt at homo, nnd it was not necessary t have a revolution to secure tho riyht to make and drink rum." Oar forefathers struggled for something more than tho right to niako and drink liquor. Ho then oxaminod tin niionliou of nntural right, lie Iwauted that defined. In a state of nature, a man lias 'he same right as a tl ;er. I lo may make war or pence at plensuto. But, by coming into society, wo must relinquish Roms of nur naturnl rights. A man has n Itaturai right to drive bis horse in tho middle of the streets, and to drive ns htst as h" his a mind to. Hut we make laws overy day to restrict those rights. W ay how fast a man may drive in our streets. Nobody Hunk these ttunirs are iturotistiiiitionti. lie mustra jiod the idea by the rase of a mm in New .Insey, wlm was n it permitted to sell sweet corn in New York in holera iitn. He showed that the imtiiril nht to al 11. el drii.k what ho haw lit w.is violntd in ihrit as, nod d i body thinks it uneonntitutioual. What tocamo of the natural r'mhl in this rue, and in all tstts of the kind I It was clearly subservient to the est intoros's of society, and Wo h id always noted on 'his theory. Men are inteinpento in entiug, drinking, wearini; ' lothos, &,n,t but no body also is injured by it. This is 'ha distinction. But, in tlm use of liquor, the injury tnel confuted to the drinker. Sorioty is injured, and jciely has a right tn protect itnelf from .his injury. le illustrated the idea by instances. He examined the constitutionality of the Maine law. (He quoted from a decision nf Chief Jusiico Taney, in 'he Supreme Court ol the UuiteJ Stntes, upon this sub- l 'Ci, wno sum mat tl any (Vat saw lit to prom nt it File, &c., they clearly Imd aright tn do so.

It ws j .nfortunate allusion. Would It iw impartial to have vJ The law only provided that ruinsellert are ntil saia they are guilty nf the 11 Hence, and M"fore, lmuartial. Tho Bentlemaa had fairly. U did not provldo that tho uiiieri notittog 01 mo lort. He referred to tho English rase, quoted by his opponent. What il John Bull had tailed! Whs that any reason why wc should failf We have done many things that England npver thought of. He referred to McUormick's reaping maohiue. They thought that became they had failed, we must fail ; but they found themselves misinKen, ntm they man in ny aum tiled tneir mistuke. The English case was a governmental tueusuro, without consultation with the peoplo. There was no discussion, no preparation, no submission of it to ihem. But wo of this country think for ourselves, nnd if wo sea tit to mnke such a law, it is the people that do it. Lot the peoplo volo upon it let the peo-pie of Ohio vote upon this abstract question, and there would bo thunder that would startle the nation. l'roporty may bo destroyed without paying for it. Wo do so every day. Wo take tho property of the counterfeiter and gambler, and seller of obscene hooks, and nobody dnht the constitutional right. Nobody questions the right to take and destroy property that is illegally used. He used up iho ciJcr argument by an illustration. Suppose a man should kill an ox If ho let it lay a few ffays in the hnt sun, it becomes putrid. Suppose ha take it to market will tho authorities permit it to he sold? No. And yot it is hit property. Why shall ho not havo a tight to soil any thing ho ownsT Because the community would ho injured by it. The provisions of Ihe Maine law may be ubnsrd, nnd so may nny law on our statute bonk. Ho illustrated the idea by cases tinder our law, Suppose a m 111 crosses my sheep pasture without my leave. He commit a trespass. Suppose he passes ih rough my 'orchard, nnd pick up somo of my fruit under tho trees. Ho commits a theft. I may prosecute him for these. But who attempts to do an in ordinary casesT Nobody ; and the mun that should attempt it would be booted out of society. And yet law on this subject tiro found uocossnry, nnd nobody thinks of opposing thorn, because they may be per verlfil from their original nnd legitimato purpose. So, nobody would think of disturbing the f rmer who niado cider for his own use, or if ho should sell some of it to his neighbor for neighborhood coramou one. But if the man should tnko the hard cider to (ho dog- gery.nnd keep about hi in a set of Iny loafers, guzzling it down, spending their time and corrupting iho morals of Iho neighborhood, it would bo odiftVrontcaso.nnd oupht to bo til tended to by tho ofhrers of tho Inw. Nero his hour expired, when tho meeting nd joiirncd till 2 o'clock, p. m. aftkrmoon's derate. At 2 o'clock, p. m., ihe audience again assembled, and Mr. Beebo proceeded to occupy Ins half hour. Ho thought his positions had not been met; that iho argument of his opponent did nut apply. Whero it had been attempted he thought ho should honblo to show tint it was not conclusive, lie thought tlio n cisnuis nf tlio U. S, Court wero not pertinent. Tlio quosii-u, li.ere decided wero between the United .States nnd tho States, nnd did not apply to tho pn-sont question. But .lodges may become supeniuuated and fanatical, nod Judge of the U, H. may have erred. Ho thought after Iho individual bad paid duty, ihe government was bound lo prot"ct the individual in il, ami that no Stato had a right to nrus laws to destroy it. It was the Constitution of Ohio that wo were imw discussing, and whether the clause upon which the people luvo voted made any such law in this ESta unconstitutional. Ho thought ihn that elm mo nf the question hnd been decided in his favor by tho failure ol his opponent to meet thorn. He said tho government ought not to noizo any man's property or intotfero with any matt, till an oltunce is committed. That wns tho sif-ist rul. The man who drives through the streets fast is liable to injure other people's property, nnd for this injury ho ouiiht to bo made responsible. Noal Dow, in a letter, admits that tho law do os not work well in It if ton and Hliode Itil ind. Tho law, ho believed, could not be enforced in Ohio, Ho thought the people of this S'ate were the last tint would submit to such an enactment. In answer to tho swoet-corn argument, ho said (hat any man from New York hnd a right to go over the State of New Jersey and buy them nnd tnko ihem home. But ((incorporation had authority to forbid the s doof what I hoy thought unhealthy in their market. Ho-referred brielly to 0110 fir two of iho positions of bis opponent, when his half hour having expired ho took his scat. Dr. Jewett resumed. Ho thought tho attempt to disparage the opinion nf tho United Slates Judges, was not in good taste. That Court was one of ihe ablest in the world. He referred again bridly to the ilftfi-ion of I lml Pn.if f- . ... ... v . tl. rr.ii" constitution on tho licnsn question. What did the makers ol that constitution design 1 Nothing like the proi isintis of tlio Maine law. It is not lo bo done fur pr vato gaie, but as Ihe ngont of tho townships. The Supreme Court of Ohio, siuco 1 ha present constitution, lias derailed that a law restricting iho sale, of liquor In quantities least nan aquart if eonttitut tonal. Now.il it may be restricted in ciuantitie len than a quirt, may lin y not pass laws restricting it altogether? We havo now n law authorizing tho township trustees to prohibit iho sale ol liquor in townships, and ihis is a I'.illronfirtni tion ot our views on the cunslitutloiml question. About law for prevention, can tho law apprehend a man who is ahoiit to apply a torrh to a dwelling, or who is nhont to commit a murder? Uloirly lliny can, and ttny do. In reply In tho troth ni horse argument, wo would ! nut complain so much il lb' so rummies did not con. tatitly run into our buggies. That is tho trouble. The sain of ruin injures not only the user but nil the res. of tho community. This is pist tho ditVn-ulty. After n reply to somo other propo-iiion, his lime having ex pired; when Mr- fie el 10 again took tlio stand. His speech was mmtly in iho dinuission of propositions heretofore giv en, lie pa-1!, to the second part nl tlio question, the HV-rtol ilio Maine law upon tho peace ami good order ot community- Ho ha I In' 011 called an lutidel.

But when they step ped astd' Irom tins, nnd went to preaching politics, ami to call good, huuest men riimsuo'cers, iii'irdcreri, Sic, ihey wero nut of their duty, and he opposed th' in. Such language did much to irritate, and array one set ot community against nimtiier. 11 the Legislature lias authorized lowuahins to prohibit the salt of liquors, it gave an authority that they did not posses. Ho doubted whether it wns douo iu any towu.hip. (Sev eral voices named townships where the prohibition had been made. "Akron, lUvennn, Athens, Dela ware.") Spirituous liquor were necessary. George Washiiutoii wrote to Congress complaining that there was not enough whisky lor tho use nf the army. His opinion aro worih something ; and if these thing are faots, then it is wrong to call thnso who mantilacluro liquors hard name. He referred tntho scripture nr-gumeut, and aid there wns no authority iu tho Bihlo tor the Maine law. He had oil- rod n, reward to nny one who would prove nu nppmdte posilion. Dr. Jowott resumed. Ho quoted a text, to show bis side of Iho argument. After some romiirksnh'tiil Washington, and the use of liquor in former times, lm referred to tho effects of liquor drinking in tho roiumissiuu of crime. Ho Assorted that throe fourths of the crimes of the country were committed through the rlWt of using liquors. When the uso of cutlery shall producn the propor.ion of crime and evil lhai liquor does, be idiould go against eutleru. Ho discussed the nrovcu live fel u ro and demon, Ira led that wiolo legislate tn prevent crime, a well a to punish. We puinnh a man or keoioiiB morellinl a rnrtnin n mount ot (iinrnlr in his store.

This is preventive legislation. Some States have laws putting a guardian over the prnperty nftnun wno aro inclined 10 spend their substance in liquor. This is preventive legislation. Congress has passed a law against taking liquor to Indian countries, nnd il found there, tho liquor may be seized and destroyed, and even tho noal that takes it there may ne seixeii. This is nruveiitivo legislation. Vniuo bus not the hon or nf originating this law. It belong to General Jackson and to tho Congress of ihe United States, Mr. Beebo resumed. After passing upon whnt had just boeu said at some length, ho referred In the Bible argument, and quoted a verso tn mra, where, lor the service of the Lord, they were commanded to bring forth wine, &c. He also referred lo several passages in tho Biolo whero the use ol wine was commended His quotation wrro extended nnd thorough on this point. I Dr. Jewett replied. Ho doubled whether the clmr-1 dies and prench'Tsuf Ohio sympathized with him in the fear that they could get no wine for communion. tie preachers were almost unanimously in lavor nt the Mttino law. The bict that wine were tolerated then, is no more evidence that it is right to use it for a coniuion drink now, than the tact that polygeny, whi h was allowed then, is also right uw. Who advocate polygamy front this cause f H then went into a brief examination nf the Maine law, and Its general tendency anil effects, and dwelt tifton it with much lot 00 and eloquence, and closed whh a devout wish that the people of Ohio would take this subject iuto their own bnuds. ntid enact the Maine law. Mr. Beebe closod tho dehate. He said the wish for tho Maine law was a Mohammedan wish and not a Oliristisn one. He quoted from the Koran to how that Mohammed t tinted wine and Hie money for which it should bo sold. He contrasted thnt with the doc trine of the Bible, and said that the Maine law would be anything but in accordance with the precept of that , book. Ho reterrod to sonin oi tho previous argument and saul he thought bis constitutional position had ni been met and overcome. Of the second part nf the tuestioii. that which referred to the moral and religious aspect of tho cae, he left the people to judge whether n law that would army one portion nt community against another would he likely to promote these ends. Heinststod that n t such law could heenlorced in Ohio, and that the people would permit nothing uf the sort to be dot e. Alter the close of the debate It was proposed that a vote of (be people be taken. Those who were in favor of the enactment of such a law passed lo the South side of the yard, and thon opposed passed to ihe North side. Occupy itia a central and elevated seat, we bad ft good view of each side. It i our judgment that the iorctgn Correspondence. Paris, August 1, 1853. , The noble stand taken by tho American Com-1 mandor in the affair of tho Hungarian refugee, Kossta, at Smyrna, has shed new light and new honors upon tho American character abroad. After much misrepresentation and abuse of Capt. Ingrahom by the Euro ; pean press generally, it now appear that that oilicer. was right, and that he only performed on imperative j duty. Capt. Inrahara knew ho was right, and he had 1 orders from Iho American Legation at Constantinople to Ink 0 Kossta; he boarded the Austrian man-of-war and told tho Captain ho would give him four hours to deliver Kossta up. This order, peremptory, decided, just, is condemned by the English press as "brutal" on tho part of Capt. In graham. The Oapium had more reasons than ono for this peremptory order: he was satisfied that it was his duty to toko him, the man had claimed the protection of the American flag, be hs afraid they would convey him on board an Austrian ateamer that was lying by for the purpose, and thus carry him out of his reach, and they had m ido him mad by denying at first that Kossta was aboard the vessel a falsehood, lie told tho Captain himself, no gentleman or no officer, who laid claims to respectability, would bo guilty of. Tho principle npnn which Mr. Brown, at Constant!- noplo, ordorcd hts release, nnd tho princlplo upon which Capt. Ingrahnm acted, was that Kossta, being an outlaw from his native country, Austria, and having taken out his papers declaring his intontion nf naturalization in New York, he was therefore clearly under tho protection of no flag except that of Iho United States, and tho moment ho declared to Capt. Ingruham that ho claimed that protection, it wti awarded him. Tho entire European press deny the validity of that doctrine, and contend that the European States oatt never submit to such pretensions on the part of America. Ono paper says: " If American citizenship ami an Amorican passport iccuro impunity to all rebels, it is clear the crime of high treason must ho erased from tho code of every country. If this doctrine prevnils, what should prevent Kossuth himself, ot Mazzini, from rot urning into Austria and Italy, armed with this talisman, nnd defying the sovereign and the police, and invoking the intervention of their powerful and tin scrupulous protectors?" "In Turkey, it is well known tint a Christian, when taken in tho actual commission of a crime, may escape tho consequences by profess ing his conversion to Islamism. The pretensions of America to invest thu criminals of other countries with similar immunities, if admitted, will render nil Inter course with that country intolerable." After doman ling the body of Kostta, Capt. Ingrnham " hy to" near the Austrian vessels, four in number, and cleared ship for action. A compromise was immediately agreed upon by tho Consuls of the United State and Austria, to enve bloodshed, by which Kossta was delivered into the hands of a third power for arbitra tion. News just arrived from Vienna state that Knssla is likely tn bo given up to the American authorities, nnd that public opinion has taken a turn somewhat in our favor. The Vienna correspondent of tho London will goon bo exhausted J twelve millions of lior popu lation aro either neutral or against her, and the allied powers have botrayed the Sultan' confidence. What, then, is thero lo save her from the grasp of Iho great Northern Beorf Is it likely that Nicholas, knowing perfectly all these advantages, will submit lo the dic tation of other professed friendly powers, whose interests are all on the side of Turkey and againat him? If he does, he will astonish even thnso who ask him to do it. A telegraphic despatch, just arrived from Vienna, says that the American government has offered money I and help to the Sultan. This report, it is needless to say, is not oredited; and it ia probable it is a part of that system of menace which the powers concerned against Russia aro resorting to, to protract the Emperor's progress. Another despatch says that Kossta remain in tho French hospital at Smyrna until bit case hall be decided on at Washington and at Vienna. UlistcIIaitB.

We have from time to time laid before our readers the facts that havo come to our knowledge in relation to the vast mineral resources of the Hocking Valley. Its beds of Coal and Iron are not surpassed iu quality or quantity. A n nd from Culnmbu to these point would be of immense benefit to our ci'y. and our business mon should lose no time in commen cing the good work. We find un able and interesting article in the Athent Memnger on this subject, and we take pleasure in co pying it for the benefit of our citizens : From the Athens Messrnor. The Hocking Talloy Railroad. This road is beginning to command that attention which wo feel assured further examination into its merit aud value when completed, wil justify. Its necessity and convenience to the laiid-boldenaud limine men of the immediate Valley, as well as to the State at large, are not easily exaggerated. To those considerations, we believe, all who have given it even a passing thought are awake; connecting as it will St. Paul and the entire Territory of Minnesota, if uot also the vast copper region of tho upper Lake by n continuous through lino of roads, with Baliimore aud the sea-board geuerally, it must, when viewed in its true light, arouse earnest desiro and ellicient efforts for its pedy completion. Although tho portion ot the State through which its construction t contemplated is comnarativoiv small, vet it noss sses manv feature of vastly more than ordinary interest. To (ho resources of this country both agricultural and mineral and to its rapidly increasing population, it i reasonable to suppose that mondisposed to aid by their money and iniiuence in this enterprise will look with some dogree of anxiety: aud it is as reasonable to suppose that the immediate residents along tho line will bo equally anxious to contribute what facts they may possess, to throw light upon these points. Commencing at Columbus, where it will have advantageous connection with the great network of lines extending ovor overy part of the valley of the Mississippi, thin road is designed to pais through tho counties of Frank lin, f airfield, Hocking and Athens, to some yet unde termined point on tlio Ohio. Theso counties taken still more nhsurd, seems to bo extonding its sway.

Sho was with her cousin, and Ihis but served lo increase her attractions. I knew her at onco '. for a into woman, by the harmony of her attire with carriage, feature nnd-complexion, and by that air caused by tlii.s h trtmuiy, this wholeness which ever shedi nn iiilluenne sacredly impressive around the true woman guarding iter in a ponetrail or purity sale irom rulliau intrusion. Her id 11 re was plainness itself. No gaudiness an nhiiost entire absence of jewelry a pin, a ring or two, rich, but plain. Upon acquaintance I observed, as I was confident of yes, ai I would have slaked my exUtonco upon the truth before, for it would havo been n monntmiii anomaly In have been otherwise that tho same harmony norvnding the outward, also pervaded tho inward self; in fact, it was but this inward harmony which caused this beautiful naturalness nl outward action. What a ditlnrence bo tion of wheat in tho county of Athens alono, a county whoso claim in this particular have never been urged, is 51(1,001) bushels, and of corn about 250.000 bushels, besides other productions pertaining to farming pursuits. Of Hocking, Fairfield, &o., we need notsfieak, as their merit in those particulars are well known. Wo aro not fnr from tho truth whon wo soy, that from theso considerations alone, especially taken into connection won 1110 pronnnio amount 01 mrtogn uune ness upon the road, from its connection at each termi nus, tho investment of stock must be a source of high profit to it holders. But a featuro of greater interest in this road 1 the extensive bed of bituminous coal and workable iron ore, found in its immediate vicinity in Hocking and Athens counties! This coal nnd iron, together with their associated mineral salt, notwithstanding their hitherto imperfect development, have, through the la cilitv afforded by ihe canal for their transportation, h! ready becoiuo lucrative articles nl commerce, tiut tin to tho utmost perfection bur good, tho other her had breed in; wrong, mid that it ha engage in an affair that will prove tho worst in which they have engaged for many yeirs.

This formation embrace tho sandstone, limestone, carcareo siliceous rock, shales, iron ore, and the saline stratum or strata. Each of these appear exhuiistless. According to tho most rolhblo observations thero are threo workable seams nf good bituminous coal, cropping out at the surface along the Hockhocking river, commencing sevon miles went of Nelionville and extending to the mouth of Sunday creek. These beds riio as wo ascend the river, and sink beneath it in an opposite direction, being exposed in the very best workable state for a distance of at least ton mile. Thosucoal Thero is nothing like a pleasure excursion into tho country, or upon 1 lie water, to bring the little biem-isii and benunei of tho disposition to viow; lor those littln excursion, having connected with them, as they over have, so many little disagreeables, call foi considerable Ht'-icisin ami equability of temper to resist that nntiirul proueueis, to which nearly all aro liable, tn bo disturbed by annoyance.

Every now arrival elicited an exclamation, men were about equally divided. The ladies were all In all war question which present themselves, and tho decided stand taken by Capt. Ingrnham, hive brought iho peoplo of Europe to the belief that diplomacy is no pirt of our governmental creed. But that when wo know our rights, wo demand them immedi a'ely, and if we don't get (hem, we discard diplomacy I for something more telling. This affair has nlVnnb d so striking a contrast to the puerile conduct of England and France In the same quarter, (hat it has exerted a vast deal of goi.d for the influence of Iho American mino. Another affair, much similar, has just occurred. A Hungarian refugee embarked, with his wife and chil dren, on board an Austrian steamer at B'yroul, in Syria, when the Captain immediately informed bun that he arrested him iu the name of ihe Austrian Consul, and would convey htm to Triesle, (Austria.) The Hungarian protested; nnd then, appearing to submit to his destiny, he withdrew to a corner, and, waiting until he aw he was not watch -d, throw himself into the sen. A boatman picked him up and conveyed him to the Consulate of the United State. Thero proving by his passport that ho wns entitled to American pro tection, ho was recoived. Thanks to iho energy of tho American Consul, Iho wife and children nf tlio Hungarian, whom ihe Captain wished lo kefp on board, wero also rojtored to liberty, and were carried to Smyrna by a French steamer. Tho mationuvres of Commander Stringham at Con stantinople have excited the joahmiie and suspicion of all the murilimo nations, but particularly (hose of England and France. Tho treaty of 1911 prohibits armed vessels belonging to any of the grout power of Europe to pass Into the Dardanelles, This treaty, or course, oxert no influence upon nn independent power liko the United States, Commodore Stringham has gone through the Dardanelles with his fleet, nnd ac companied ihe Turkish fleet, sailing in il centre, into Ihe Black Seat he has b-en feted by the Turkish court, and has madt? a complimentary speech to the Sultan) nnd it is reported that he has punhaied from the Sultan, for the sum of five hundred thousand del lor, the exclusive right to a ship road in tho Sea of Marmora, and for a short connecting railroad. ery naturally all this ha aroused tho suspicions of other nations, mid they begin to ask what Brother Jonathan Is nftrr in ibis part of Iho world T Brother Jonathan is looking after the interests of bis commerce that is nil. The war question ha grown stale and tedious. England and Franco have shown the white feather, and the Emperor of Russia, as I havo before misled, Is likely lo obtain his own terms. His policy has been energetically followed up, without faltering or vacillation; white that of tho allied forces, if they can aspire to that title, ha been prevaricating, indecisive, bullying, even cowardly. The result is, that the Sul tan, after taking ft noble stand in defence of his rights and his independence, will be left at the merry of Nicholas, ami compelled to submit to terms the most humiliating. Nicholas evidently intends, by procrastination, lo exhaust tho feoblo resources of Turkey, when she will be an easy prey. The cries of England and France, uttered from time to time, that a solution by mediation or otherwise is upon Iho eve of consum mation, aro but Ihe cries of drowning men. They aro made to keep up government funds and to cover their own weakness. Effort to preserve peace are only honorable and commendable when they spring from honorable motives, and peace is only honorable when it is not obtained at tho price uf dishonor andhumiliation. Turkey i In a most deplornble Ml notion. The Christians, who compose a body of twelve million of tlio Turkish Empire, are either lukewarm 111 the cause of the Sultan, or have posdivrly countenanced Ihe d mnml of Russia. In Moldavia and Wallarhia, where the Russian troops are now quartered, immense num her of this population give their support tn Russia. This has exasperated the Mussulman popnlntion to such au extent, that it is with the greatest dilllcully that the Turkish government has been enabled to prevent most bloody and disastrous civil war. Tho fooling of dissatisfaction from this cause is on the increase; and here, in Paris, it is feared every mail may bring tidings of a horrible massacre of Christians In Constantinople, and perhaps tn the province also. It i to tho advan' tsgo uf Russia to encourage this feud, and she i doing so with all tho energy she nossesse. Emissaries are raising tho standard at Christianity throughout the dii affected districts, and are preaching a veritable crusade. They are even imposing miracles upon the ignorant, to excite their enthusiasm in favor uf the Emperor Nicholas, Turkey was b no k nipt before this calamity came upon her, and iho has only been enabled to make her preparation for war by the enthu siasm and forbearance of her ctliiens, and by the promised support of other powers; her strength, therefore, (m 1...

Tho look of gratitude which beamed from the modest countrii inco of the young girl, a thousand time paid Clarissa lor her kindness.

This, to be sure, is but a rough estimate, as likely to bo too little ns overrated If, iu connection with this, wo consider that theso coal formation extend buck nn each side of the contemplated line many miles, and that as they aro opened interiorly, numerous sido cuts to ihis Vat ley road will probably be constructed, affording outlets to vntt mineral deposits now scarcely worked at all, the importance nf ilio Mocking Valley Kill road can scarcely be estimated Fnr centime to come long after it projectors shall havo gone from tho busy scone nf active life, and cosse to co-ope.-atn longer in plan nnd enterprise lo aggrandize their country and bios their posterity, we may, with no exaggeration, concoivo nf nntold treasure of mineral woalth, now stored awny in these hills and vnlleys, pouring along Ihe line of this road to supply tho markets of our own and, perhaps, of odiercountries. It is proper, also, to add to this estimate of the main bed nf coal, now being worked at Nelsonville and vicinity, the yield of the seam of coal lying above that and below tlio huhrstono. 1 In is said to ho workable-Should Iho English policy of sinking shafts be adopted in ihis country, wo may estimate the availability id the Nelsonville coal bed along the line of (hi road for a distance nf at least twenty mile. It may not be improper to remark, 111 passing, that tho Nelsonville bed of coal enn be traced sooth of tho Hockhocking, to the head water of Raccoon, in York and Waterloo townships, and thence is seen along tho stream and branches, tn tho townships ol bro, brown, and Vinton. Fur various reason, the necessity of a special and thorough examination of this district might he urged. The coal here, hownvnr, is somewhat thinner than at Nelsonville, and lie more immediately in the neighborhood of tho road connecting Cincinnati and Marietta. Tho entire coal district to which wo have alluded, from it convenient location for workablo purposes, il vast extent, it superior quality, and its rapidly growing reputation, leems destined to become the most valuable deposit on the western side of tho coal measures, nnd to exert a most powerful, influence upon the part nf the State it traverses, a wed as npon those part with which it shall be connected whon the contemplated line of road shall have been completed. In the vicinity of Athens, higher beds of coal exist and hrcomo workablo, as we proceed southeasterly in tho di roc 1 ion of their dip. Extensive beds of coal are nln lonnd on rodernl cruek, occupying an area trom north to south, through tho country, of from six to ten mile in width, and embracing the towushipsol Loth, Carthago, Rome, Canaan, Ames, Bern, Marion and Homer. The thickness of the reliable em is from I to It) feet It it supposed to be of workable thickness at almmt any place. This vast deposit ia but the continuation of tho coal field before alluded to, and, as any reflect ing mind can suggest to itself, may be easily connected wiih tho Valley road now so anxiously desired. On surveying this region. Mr. Brlges. assistant Stale pool-oTst, reiimrft that "ttinncgrogate amount of cotd hore stored beneath tho surface, in the most convenient workable form, may be safely estimated at three thousand million nf inn" an amount, we may add, which, in its dttlrihutinn to our own nnd other States, can but afford a permanent and extensive revenue to this road, constructed thu centrally and conveniently for transportation, Tho amount nf coal taken annually from the several beds now worked, 1 havo no moan at hand of correct ly estimating.

It will now soon work itself clenr, bs the sore is probed to the core, and too cause ui me disease clearly ascertained. A. Mr. Lowry, who seems to have been a stalwart breakman in this stopping of ihe through enterprise, lately hear ing that stories were circulating calculated to impeach us imegriiy, uemanoed that publicity should be given to the authority for such slanders, making thi demand in writing nnd concluding his note as follows: " therefore demand the tmblieatio of tie document alluded to, nnd shall hold yon legally accountable if this rrasnnaoie request be not in a proper tune complied with." Tho President and Director of the Brie & North-East Railroad readily complied wiih Mr. Lowry' re- quest, nnd published an aftidavit made by CO. Dennis, uf Buffalo. It appears lhat Mr. D , seeing some Erie resolution passed at a meeting of which this Lowry wa Secretary, iu which creat indisnation wa ex pressed at Ihe proposed change of cuaire. beoauie of me injury to ihe public, was determined to strip the hypocrite for the benefit of all concerned, and show up just how much Lowry cared for the public aud how much for telf. Mr. Uetiuis has made his allnfavtt of the truth of his statement, by which it appear that Mr. Lowry, being one of the principal oppusen to the chnngo of guage, it was determined in some way to romove his opposi tion. Accordingly Mr. D. called on Lowry, when ihe following scene, in the language of the allidavit, took place : " I told him lhat I came to see him on heuall of the Railroad Interests between Buffalo and Cleveland. That he know very well what we wanted. We wanted the gunge changed. Now, said I, Mr. Lowry, vhat do you want! To which he answered, without the slightest hesitation, I want to make money. These other fel low in cine here have made money out ot the Erie & North-East Road, and I waut to mako some money nut of it. Well, said I, Mr. Lowry, if it can be so arranged lhat you enn make money out of it, and we can at tho same time change tho guage, have yon nny objection to that? Oh no, said ho, that will be all right." 1 1 was then arranged that tho two should visit Cleveland on this business, which they did, and the affidavit goes to any : " Wo saw Mr. Stone, and Mr. Lowry said, in answer to a question from one of us. ' that ho could control bv himself, and through other parties that ho would have to pay, so mown at over three hundred vote at the thon approaching Stockholders' meeting to accept or reject the guago law,' and that ' he was quite sure he could reient the guage law it he was suitably remunerated. and could also procure thech tuge ol gnage within three months.' Mr- Stone then proposed to give him f(i Out) when he should Imvn accomplished these things, ns follows: givo him ,000 if tha gunge law was rejected. $2,0111) to elect such a Board of Directors as we should name, and (2,0110 when the guago was changed, if within three months. To which Mr. Lowry replied, that he could mako morn money skinning eels.' Mr. Stone theu increased the offer a follow: ihe two first sums and conditions the same as before, and the last sum to be t'i.OOO if the guage was chnoged within three month. Mr. Lowry replied, that wasn tenoueh that thoro wero other men iu Erie that he would have to pay a good deal ot this money to, and it would not leave him enought to make it an object, &c. At this stage of ihe matter, Mr. Stone said he had an engage, merit that would take him an hour or more, nnd (old me lo go on with the matter and see what I could do. I theu said to Mr. Lowry that I would give him my ultimatum, as I was not authorized to go further. " That wo would give him five thousand dollnr to rejeot ihe guage law, five thousand dollars to elect such a Board of Directors as we nliould deignate,and live thousand dollar if ho procured the guago to be changed within three months." Mr. Lowry, it seems, had estimated himself pretty high, and very sensibly reasoned that, as he wa selling nis iiouy and ioiii, ihoy must bring a tip top price, and accordingly declined the offer at that time; subsequent ly, however, hud ing Dennis bad made bis biggest bid.

If thy Union i to continue a it has been going on for some lime past, I do not know that the Domocracy would sailer much from such a result. Tho time-honored principle of tho States Rights men of the South are in danger, and I appeal to them to resist sternly this attempt to strengthen Federal power, by increasing tho Federal p-ttronuge. Union, energy, determined effort, and an uncompromising spirit, will save our party from overthrow, and out principles from disgrace. Such objects aro worth struggle, and we owe it to ourselves to make the effort. A' VALLEY DEMOCRAT. August 9, 1853, HAT. MACON.

This view of duty nnd usefulness wn decisive.

The London Times is disposed to favor the reform recommended by Secretary Mahct in the dress, &c, of our foreign diplomatic agouti. Wo have no doubt lhat seusiblo men in every nation of Europe would ibank as heartily, if wo will have tho courage and manliness to fall back upon tho dignified simplicity of the days of Franklin. Why should notour agents dress as mon in their position dress at Washington? Our statesmen do not find it necessary to array themselves in a cocked hat, buff faced coat, epaulettes and ft sword at home, and our representative! should not do . so abroad. The ministers of European nations do not adopt our plain republican habit; why should our ministers adopt theirs? The practice is all wrong, and should be abolished at once and forever. The London Timet refers to it as follows: " But, If consuls are not to wear cocked hats and play the diplomatist, what are they to do? On this head the circular is tolerably explicit. They are to keep their cilices open tor the transaction ot business from 9 A. M. till 3 P. M.; they aro to obtain no leave of absence, except in urgent cases, and for short periods; they are to nUend to the requirement of American citizens, as in duty bound; and they are ' reques- tru 10 communicate ireeiy sou ireqitentiy with the Department of State, iu all that relates to scientific discoveries, to progress in the arts, and to general statistics In foreign countries.' It is added that the American government has it in contemplation to publish annually a volume containing extracts of this description from all the consular dispuclie. Such are the views take 11 by tho new administration at Washington of the consular service of the United States, and such in substance 1 the first 'diplomatic note' of the recently elevated 'premier' If all the communication of thi high functionary ditptay eipial common m they will tuitaxn a very favorable eontratt with any 'iate pa-pert' of the age. ll is not, however, solely out uf cum-plimoot to the American administration that wo have offered those remarks. There is much in them which may be applied wlh great advantage to our own institutions. We have no desire to say much about costume, though it can turcly be not very fiattrring to a civil hed nation, that an envoy accredited to it gtmernment, thould be drcoratetl at if he vert intending to aHvnttk I'ata-gnniant or Ahanfee$.
